Indoor Tennis

Until now, though, I didn't enjoy shooting it indoors. Most indoor tennis courts are dismally lit, and I hated the results I got when shooting at ISO 3200 and above.

However, I took my Canon 60D and new-to-me Canon 200mm F/2.8 L lens out to Duke's Sheffield Tennis Center for a women's team match the other day, and am pretty happy with what that combination produced shooting at ISO 4000, 1/500 and f 2.8.

For ISO 4000, these are pretty good. And with 18 MP to work with, I could shoot loose and still end up with a 5-7 MP final image.
